Official statement

A dynamic menu that changes according to content relevance or identified user journeys works well. For Google, the menu will be static (no cookies), but the links present will be understood normally. It's similar to related articles in blogs that dynamically link based on keywords. This helps users and provides more context to Google during crawling.
